Diplomatic Stairs, Concrete stair structure in Reitwein, Germany.
The Diplomatic Stairs connects different elevations on the western side of the Oder Dam between kilometers 6.5 and 6.6, constructed with precast concrete elements.
Built in 1984 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of liberation, the stairs mark the location where the 8th Guards Army crossed the Oder River in February 1945.
The stairs received their name from the visit of representatives from 40 diplomatic missions who gathered at this location during its inauguration in 1984.
Visitors can access multiple cycling and hiking routes from the stairs, with the structure providing a connection point between different trail networks in the area.
The structure incorporates a sheet pile wall within the dam as part of a pilot project to preserve large trees that line the landside of the Oder Dam.
